"Dong Zhuo!"
From the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 183 to the present, very few can be called warlords in the Guanzhong and Yongliang areas.
In addition to Ma Teng and Han Sui, it is probably Dong Zhuo and Li Jue and Guo Si who succeeded Dong Zhuo after his fall.
Judging from the time when Beiqiang fell silent, it was undoubtedly after Dong Zhuo was killed.
Judging from the stupid characters of Li Jue and Guo Si, it is difficult to control these Qiang people.
So the answer can be readily found out.
Ma Teng nodded, confirming Liu Zhang's guess.
"General Wei is indeed very intelligent!"
Liu Zhang was not pleased by Ma Teng's praise. This news was very heavy for him.
If the Beiqiang have always been in a neutral state, then it can be concluded that they are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. As long as there is no threat to them, they can continue to wait and see.
Now we have the news that Beiqiang once relied on Dong Zhuo, which just proves that this Qiang tribe has extremely high ambitions!
Ma Teng and Han Sui can be said to be the first to gain momentum. If Beiqiang joins one of the two, it will immediately break the balance of Liangzhou.
However, Beiqiang looked down upon the two of them and resolutely chose to follow Dong Zhuo.
I'm afraid I don't want to add icing on the cake, I just want to provide help in times of need!
The Beiqiang want to rely on Dong Zhuo to completely dominate the Qiang people!
It can only be said that things are unpredictable. Beiqiang accompanied Dong Zhuo through the most difficult moments. Just when he was about to usher in glory, Dong Zhuo fell.
This was not the end yet. Later, Dong Zhuo was killed, and his forces were almost torn apart. In the end, it was Li Jue, and Guo Si made a lucky comeback with the help of Li Ru.
"Brother Shoucheng, haven't Beiqiang approached Li Jue or Guo Si?"
"By the way, have you heard anything about Li Ru?"
Li Ru is a talented person who is best suited to do some shady things.
Judging from the fact that he dared to poison Liu Bian, it can be proved that this man had no fear at all.
But after Li Jue and Guo Si gained power, Li Ru seemed to disappear and was never seen again.
"General Wei, Beiqiang once tried to reunite with Li Jue and Guo Si. But you know the virtues of these two people. They are simply not clever enough."
"Li Ru is just a little person. I really don't know anything about him."
Ma Teng had no impression of Li Ru at all.
To these warlords, Li Ru was just a counselor of Dong Zhuo and did not deserve their too much attention.
Perhaps because of Liu Zhang's sudden rise to power, Liu Bian did not ascend the throne.
This also resulted in the fact that the Han Dynasty did not have the title Han Shao Di.
Li Ru failed to poison the emperor, so his reputation would probably be much smaller.
"Brother Shoucheng means that the five major Qiang tribes will unite to fight against our Yizhou Army?"
Now Liu Zhang has no intention of worrying about Li Ru's affairs. The Qiang coalition is about to become a serious problem that is more difficult to deal with than the Xianbei people!
"General Wei had better make preparations early. The five major Qiang tribes, together with Han Sui and the Zhou family, may have no less than 300,000 troops!"
"Three hundred thousand..."
Liu Zhang exclaimed, then gently held his forehead.
When did you start facing hundreds of thousands of enemies?
In the entire Guandu battlefield, there were only 150,000 people on both Yuan and Shao's sides!
He led an army of 100,000 people north to Yongliang, but he was at an extreme disadvantage in terms of military strength!
Is it possible that you want me to put an end to Wu Huan Hua myself?
As a time traveler, I naturally want to strangle the Wuhuanhua in the cradle. This has also been my ambition since childhood.
But you have to give it some time, right?
You can't just occupy a state and have 100,000 troops and then engage in a genocidal war with two barbarians, right?
Liu Zhang couldn't help but have a headache and felt bitter in his heart.
Counting the Nanman and Di people in Yizhou, Liu Zhang faced more than a million foreigners!
Liu Zhang's solemn look did not make the defeated Ma Teng feel secretly happy.
The defeats in successive years of battles and the intrigues within and outside the forces have already made Ma Teng mentally exhausted!
These leisurely days have made Ma Teng feel more peaceful than ever before, so some thoughts inevitably arise in his mind.
Perhaps there is nothing wrong with letting Liu Zhang rule Yongliang. . .
Maybe it’s time for the people on the border to live a peaceful life for a few days. . .
It was precisely because of this change in thinking that Ma Teng was willing to tell Liu Zhang so many things about Yongliang.
"General Wei's troops are elite and brave, there is no need to be like this! I believe that a mere 300,000 Qiang people are no match for General Wei's elite troops!"
Ma Teng said this sincerely. He had never seen Liu Zhang's elite soldiers and generals like this before!
Just the iron shield formation made Ma Teng fall to the ground in admiration.
"Brother Shoucheng really thinks highly of me..."
Liu Zhang really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed after receiving such praise from Ma Teng.
The source of all self-confidence requires the confidence of soldiers and generals!
The Liangzhou cavalry was not afraid of Han Sui because it was supported by Taishi Ci's Wu Feng Camp and Che Xuan Formation.
The Liangzhou Jingqi were not afraid of Ma Teng because they had an iron shield formation to cooperate with the army ambushing on all sides.
If he could gather all the elite forces in Yizhou, Liu Zhang would naturally not be afraid of the Qiang people, and he would be able to consume them to death.
But there are currently less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the elites under his command are not even fully organized.
There are only more than 7,000 people left in Wu Feng Camp, which relies on the strongest offensive power. Even if the Che Xuan Formation is used to its full potential, it will only end in destruction in the face of 300,000 Qiang people!
Without the Wushe camp and the heavy armored infantry camp who are good at defense, what confidence does Liu Zhang have to conquer the Qiang people?
I'm afraid that in this current situation, it would be nice not to be eaten by the enemy!
Ma Teng's eyes were very surprised, which was completely different from the invincible Liu Zhang in his impression.
Is this still the same Liu Zhang who wiped out Han Sui's 40,000 cavalry in one day and annihilated all 30,000 of his own elite cavalry in one day?
"I heard that there is a battalion of cavalry under General Wei who are proficient in the chariot suspension method used by Huo Qiaoqi. Coupled with the heavy armor and iron shield infantry, how can those Qiang people with extremely poor equipment and even no leather armor be the elite soldiers of Yizhou? Opponent?"
Maybe this was great news for Liu Zhang, but he still couldn't be happy.
The mere number of troops put too much pressure on him!
"Brother Shoucheng, Liu Zhang is really grateful that you are willing to tell me this! I wonder if brother Shoucheng can help me, so that the people of Liangzhou will no longer endure the pain of war!"
At this time, Ma Teng's attitude immediately became a key and decisive role.
If Ma Teng surrenders, no matter how bastard Ma Chao is, he will definitely have some scruples. There is even an extremely slim possibility of persuading Ma Chao to defect.
It is also unknown whether the Wuwei County Zhou family and Gong Tangqiang will change their attitudes because of Ma Teng's defection.
If the attitudes of Xian Ling Qiang and Gong Tang Qiang are unclear, Bei Qiang, who has always been in a neutral position, may also have some scruples.
The key points of the entire Yongliang War were all focused on Ma Teng!
"General Wei, please forgive me for not agreeing!"
